Media – Classic stories from China

Today I had a pleasant lunch with a colleague from Beijing and she noted in Beijing (less so in Shanghai) an influx of new colleagues, replacing others. That means that they are also discovering stories, we already did five or ten years ago, while the stories are sometimes already much older.
Top story is now that Chinese are actually drinking coffee (five years old) and red wine (at least ten years old). Very soon they will find out Chinese are going to the disco (15 years old) and the very diligent once discover that a sexual revolution has changed China (at least twenty years old).
No problem, we did the same kind of classic stories when we arrived in China. Most funny ones are those that think they might get into trouble with the government if they think they write about the sexual revolution.
